Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. This somatic experiencing evidence based therapy offers a profound shift in our understanding of trauma treatment. It provides an innovative way to work with the body's natural mechanism for dealing with traumatic experiences.

The Science Behind Somatic Experiencing

Somatic experiencing, developed by Dr. Peter Levine, is built on the premise that trauma might reside inside the body and manifest as psychological and physical symptoms. The approach has gathered significant scientific evidence over the years, indicating its effectiveness in resolving trauma.

A study published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress Disorders & Treatment demonstrates that SE intervention can reduce symptoms of trauma, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD [^1^]. Thus, supporting the value of including this evidence-based technique in trauma-informed training.

Benefits of Somatic Experiencing

Somatic experiencing offers several benefits. These range from an increased ability to manage stress, creating an enhanced sense of well-being, reducing the symptoms of PTSD, to improving interpersonal relationships. By tapping into the body’s innate wisdom, SE can lead to profound healing and transformation.
